Two Killed in P-51 crash in Fredericksburg, TX

The plane was obviously not going to fit in that parking spot.

It says “Compact Only”, that’s what it means.

I almost feel worse for the loss of the plane.

Wonder what went wrong. I hope it wasn't a simple case of running out of fuel.

Vintage WWII airplane? What about that poor Kia?

Probably one of the few perks of living in San Antonio is the museum is only an hour or so away.

The National Museum of the Pacific War is actually 3 blocks of dedicated WWII: Pacific memorials and museums. They have the Pacific Museum, Chester Nimitz Museum, a Memorial Garden and a mock-up beach landing war zone area.

Nimitz's house is right across the street from the Museum, pretty cool.

The Museum itself is badass, but it's a bit wordy. You can spend a solid day in there just reading.

Sad to see...my uncle flew a P-51 in WWII and my Grandfather flew a B-26 bomber (avatar is my grandfather and his plane)

He and the plane were at the WWII air show last year. Hard to believe this happened. Guy could fly.

A debate in the warbird community is whether to fly them and risk a loss.

Oh god, we had to worry about car mustangs, now we got to worry about the fly ones now too.
